I (name listed below), on behalf of myself and the minor(s) under my care who are enrolled in Delta Farm School program(s), understand that Delta Farm School facilitates learning experiences in outdoor natural areas. As such, there are inherent unknown individual risks and circumstances that can arise during Delta Farm School programs that cannot be foreseen. I am aware that outdoor programs involve hazardous activities with a risk of illness, injury or death which may be caused by forces of nature, animals, insects or flora, the negligence of Delta Farm School, or other persons and companies known or unknown, or of willful or criminal conduct of third parties. I am aware that weather conditions may be severe, adverse and/or unpleasant. In order to partake of the educational and physical benefits offered by Delta Farm School, I am willing to accept the risks and uncertainty involved. I hereby accept and assume full responsibility for any and all risks of illness, injury or death and of the negligence of Delta Farm School and agree to hold harmless and release Delta Farm School from claims of negligence.
RELEASE FROM LIABILITY
I agree to release and discharge Delta Farm School of liability for any accidents, injuries, delays, mishaps, harm, loss, damage, death, lost profits, personal or business interruptions, misapplication of information, physical or mental disease, condition or issue, or otherwise, affiliated with Delta Farm School or otherwise. This release and waiver extends and applies to, and also covers and includes, all unknown and unforeseen, unanticipated and unsuspected injuries, damages, loss, and liability. In no event will I hold Delta Farm School its program facilitators, or any other member of Delta Farm School liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages for any use or non-use of, or reliance on, the programs.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
I understand the physical requirements of the activity in which I and/or my child will be participating, and I and/or my child currently have no known physical, medical or mental condition which would impair my and/or my child’s ability to participate in this program or my and/or my child’s safety in this activity, and I am willing to assume all risks that may be created, directly or indirectly, by any such condition. I hereby authorize Delta Farm School to arrange for any emergency medical treatment and hospitalization as may be necessary for me because of participation in this activity without my further
consent.
 
I consent to the application of first-aid or other emergency medical services to be applied to adults or children in connection with a health problem or emergency during a Delta Farm School program, including calling 911 for an ambulance. I agree to hold Delta Farm School harmless as a result of any such injury or damage that might incur due to the application of treatment, medical services, or emergency medical care provided or offered.
VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION
I acknowledge that I have voluntarily applied for myself and/or my child to participate in Delta Farm School programs and that I have read the description of the program as it appears in the current Delta Farm School website and supplements or brochures relating to the program, together with all information contained in this application. I am voluntarily participating and/or enrolling my child in this program with knowledge of the hazards involved.
KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY EXECUTION

I have carefully read this Agreement and fully understand its contents. I am aware that this is a release of liability and a contract between myself and Delta Farm School and sign it of my own free will for myself and on behalf of every child of which I am responsible for who will be participating in the program.
